    The neighbor " There was something wrong with the flag..." Hmm..better check my own flag
  • @Mrmanu237
    The country was in distress obviously
  • @sayno2globalism
    This is how all our flags should be flown, because our country is in dire distress! How his neighbor looked at the flag and couldn’t put two and two together is dumbfounding.
  • @wyatth2992
    At least he is still flying a flag from the USA.
  • @sinstyles666
    where is the criticism of the liberals who burned the american flag nothing but crickets from liberal media on that subject
  • @TheFrogfeeder
    An upside down American flag means that an American is in distress, there is no other descriptions like the news guy said. Ive flown my flag upside down since Jan 20th 2021….
  • @rainick
    I would have assumed conservatives would be mad, for the suggestion that the riots caused caused the justice to feel the country was in distress. But I guess it is just a political move to try and force a more favorable SC decision by removing an opposition justice from a case.
  • First of all this happened in 2021. After 1/6, there was dire distress! Please stop this BS.
  • @user-pr4xs4nm9k
    has been a widely recognized symbol of distress since the nation's founding, when sailors turned the American flag upside down to signal that their ships were sinking, on fire or trapped in ice.
  • @nancyheck918
    So they had the right of Their Own opinion. It means that the us is under stress and it is.
  • @daddyalex1017
    dont back down conservatives we are definitely in dire constraints in this country
  • @patriot4826
    Jan 6th will be forever remembered for the murder of Ashley Babbitt an unarmed white female murdered by a black Capital police officer for protesting the Democrat trampling of the Constitution she swore an oath to protect
  • @71BigMitch
    We are in trouble. This is what the flag upside down means.
